Serpent Chain Saga: Volcano Island Arc: Chapter 10: The Doctor is in

(Rock-fist's POV)

"Alright guys, here is the mountain. Let's climb it" I said.

"Are you kidding" Blader said.

"I'll show you how"

"Stone Rock Giant" I yelled as I touched the rock and made a tall skinny suit made out of rock.

"Hop on" I told my friends.

I pressed the hands of my golem to the side of the mountain. I reached higher then pulled myself up the mountain, absorbing my legs into the rock. I detached my legs from the rock and pulled myself up again. I continued the process again and again until I felt I could hardly do it anymore, when would it end. Luckily I got my answer. "Were almost to a plateau."

I pulled and pulled with all my strength. Eventually I pulled myself onto the plateau "We finally made it" I gasped.

I leaned back against the wall, but it cracked and I fell in. I turned and saw a tunnel leading into the mountain. "Hey look at that" I said.

"Want to explore it" suggested Runner.

(Archer's POV)

We walked down the tunnel into the mountain. The tunnel was at a shallow incline that leveled as we went on. After a while the tunnel seemed more like a man made corridor then a cave. "Where are we!" Froggy asked.

"I don't know" I replied.

I suddenly heard the sound of distant footsteps. "Do you hear that." I asked quietly.
My friends all nodded and tensed prepared for battle. The footsteps grew louder and louder. I put an arrow in my bow and pulled it back, my muscles tensed for battle. But suddenly the footsteps stopped. "Where could the enemy be?."
I waited patiently for a sign of movement, any sign. But nothing happened no one came. Suddenly a small grenade landed and exploded into a cloud of purple gas. The gas stung my eyes and I blinked rapidly to be able to see. I barely made out four men in hazmat suits. Three of them grabbed Rockfist, Runner and Blader who were knocked out by the gas.

The fourth guard walked toward me and Froggy who had also been knocked out. I shot an arrow at the guard but it did not pierce the suit and only slowed him down. The guard punched me and I collapsed my nose searing in pain. He must have had a Seastone knuckle plate.

I slung Froggy on my shoulder and ran as fast as I could. The guard continued to chase us turned and shot two more arrows at the guard. The arrows hit the weakened spot and the collapsed He slowly got up but I ran away I had gotten far away from him.

I placed Froggy on the ground who had just woken up. "What happened he groaned.

"We were attacked, our friends were taken.

"Oh no"

"What do you think he is doing with them.

"I don't know."

"We need to save them"

Froggy and I slowly crept down to the corner and looked around it. I immediately jerked by head back. "There's a guard" I whispered to Froggy.

"We can take him on"

"I know, but It will alert the base."

When the guard walked by Froggy grabbed me and we grappled to the ceiling. Before the guard could look up, we shot down the hall. "There's another guard coming." Froggy said.

"Hide there"

We grappled to the wall compartment and climbed in. I looked out the slats while the guard walked by. "Phewph" whispered Froggy.

I looked around and saw something interesting. "Hey look" I said.

"What?"

"It is a map of the place."

I looked at the map and saw several interesting looking rooms. The one that stood out the most was the Surgery Room. "What could go on their." I asked.

"Probably not good as they kidnapped as they kidnapped our friends." Froggy replied.

"Lets check the Research room there" I said pointing to it on the map. "It's on the way."

We looked out the door. "It's clear."

We snuck out of the door and down the hall, hiding in other compartments when needed. Soon we were at the research room. "Oh no" cried Froggy"

I looked and saw what he meant. The notes were about Vivisecting people with devil fruit powers to make some ultimate weapon. "We need to stop him" Froggy exclaimed.

"I've got a plan. When the next guard comes by wrap him up."

When a guard walked by Froggy shoot out his tongue and wrapped his ankles. "Let me go." he shouted as we dragged him in.

I restrained his arms then slipped off his uniform. "Alright all dress up as one of the guards and take you to our Friends. Then we will rescue them"
